Vintage Fridays: Bolero jackets

Last week, I noticed the first yellow leaves falling on my lawn, a sure sign that autumn is on its way, and summer is ever so slowly drawing to a close. So days are still sunny warm, but evening are beginning to cool, and that means you'll need an extra layer to keep the shoulders covered.

Enter boleros, the wee jackets that are full of style but do real work to keep the chill off - so you can continue your evening outdoors - there's only so many more of those nights to enjoy al fresco, after all.

This sweet Mexican-style bolero is full of energy and fun. Throw on top of a Little Black Dress and heels or a white tank top and jeans; this is a versatile little jacket.

Two vintage fabrics, both with sweet patterns, have been put together to create this full arm coverage bolero, which is made by hand in Sweden.
